Determination of the MESEP Events of 2-9th April 2001 According to ERNE/SOHO

Abstract

On 2-9th April 2001 the Energetic and Relativistic Nuclei and Electron (ERNE)
instrument on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) observed three
gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events separated by 9 hour and 7days
respectively, in association with three effective solar flares and coronal mass
ejections (CMEs).
In this paper, a study of MESEP events was considered. As the definition of this
phenomenon suggested there might be many sources for each MESEP event. This
event has been examined in order to view the different sources that might relate to
suspected accelerator of the SEPs. A careful analysis for the spectra and associated
emission with such eruptions was made. Soft X-ray emission was observed by the
Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite (GOES) was used to indicate the
associated solar flares, earth radio stations were used to determine the associated
radio emissions. While three instruments, beside (ERNE) were used from the SOHO
satellite, the Large Angle Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) to follow the
CMEs, the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) for observing the Morton
waves to indicate the CME location and the Charge, Element, and Isotope Analysis
System CELIAS to indicate the shock waves caused by CMEs.
